L'ouragan Melissa a dévasté l'ouest de la Jamaïque le 21 Octobre, laissant de nombreuses familles dans le besoin et dans l'urgence. De nombreuses associations, structures et artistes, ainsi que sur le site du gouvernement jamaïcain ont mis un place des plans de solidarités. La Bob & Rita Marley Fondation a lancé une campagne de donation, par le biais de gofoundme, que vous pouvez trouver ici :

From the island that gave the world legends, resilience, and rhythm — Jamaica now needs our help. In the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, many families across the island are facing severe loss and devastation. Homes have been destroyed, communities flooded, and thousands are in need of urgent assistance to rebuild their lives.
UFC Fighter Aljamain “Funk Master” Sterling, Maxi Priest, and Intercept Music are partnering with the Bob and Rita Marley Foundation to launch the Bob and Rita Marley Foundation Relief Fund — a united effort to bring essential resources, rebuilding aid, and hope to communities affected by Hurricane Melissa. Every dollar raised on this fundraiser will be delivered to trusted organizations and local response efforts throughout Jamaica.
Who’s Involved:
Aljamain Sterling — UFC Fighter and proud Jamaican-American champion using his platform to uplift the island that raised his roots.
Maxi Priest and Intercept Music — Together for Jamaica,
helping our island feel so alive again.
The Bob & Rita Marley Foundation and Marley Family
—continuing the legacy of love, peace, and empowerment through community
upliftment.
How You Can Help:
Every contribution, big or small, makes an impact. The biggest long term problem will be displacement through lack of roof covering and 100% of the proceeds raised will go towards relief efforts. The Bob & Rita Marley Foundation will be:
Providing emergency supplies for families impacted by Hurricane Melissa such as clothing & personal hygiene items
Supporting local rebuilding and housing efforts, including:
Supplying roofing kits to homeowners. These kits include zinc, lumber, and all
other necessary materials (nails, screws, etc) as well as a technician to
install the roof. Each kit costs US$3,800 and we will work closely with our
partners to ensure fair distribution across all those in need.
Jamaica has given the world so much — music, champions, and culture that moves hearts everywhere. Now it’s time for us to give back. Let’s stand together as one global family to bring relief, recovery, and renewed strength to the island we love.
One Love. One Mission. One Jamaica.
Thank you to Aljamain Sterling, the Bob and Rita Marley Foundation, and Omar "Major 7" Walker for bringing this all together and making this campaign possible.
